Experienced administrators can tell you that a lot could’ve done, like:
*meeting with all CMs to ensure common strategy
*anticipation of distress in urban poor & pre-publicity of relief plans
1/n
*blueprint for use of schools/anganwadis
*plan for smooth movement of trucks
*pre-plan for distribution of cooked food packets
*mobilisation of anganwadis for rural relief
2/n
*meeting of local administration with reputed civil society organisations and religious institutions for their help
& I am not talking about economic stimulus/measures yet. That could have followed soon after assessment
